Extended information:

"The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" takes the experiences of detectives Sherlock Holmes and Watson as the main line, leading to a series of sensational and strange cases.

The background of the story fully combines the political and economic conditions of the United Kingdom at that time. Conan Doyle's creative writing style and narrative perspective have become increasingly sophisticated and changeable. Many people even thought that the story was real. In this novel, in addition to the thrilling and sensational detective stories, it also expresses the jealousy, suspicion, and hatred between people.

A husband murders his wife, an uncle poisons his nephew for property, two brothers kill their sister, etc. These crimes fully demonstrate the ugliness of human nature.

In addition, Holmes and Watson sometimes broke the law for the sake of justice. For example, they sneaked into the house of a fraudster in order to steal a letter, and they let go out of sympathy to avenge their loved ones. Killing them could not be punished by the law. The two murderers, Dr. Tregennis, etc. also promoted the humanitarian idea of ??punishing evil and promoting good to a certain extent, catering to the psychology of the general public.
